Today Austin based virtual reality studio, Ghost Machine,
announced a major update to its Motorsport Revolution racing
franchise with support for the Oculus DK2 headset. The new
game currently in development is touted as an immersive car
racing action game specifically designed for VR racing in mind. The
game action, which can now be seen on
Ghost Machines website, is
reminiscent of popular console racers such as Forza Motorsport and
the popular Grid series. An official release of the game is
slated for Late 2014; a gameplay video of Motorsport
Revolution is included here:

The game currently in alpha can be purchased on the Ghost
Machine
website. The alpha currently
available is playable with both the Legacy DK1 and the newly
released DK2 Oculus Rift Development headset, which can be
obtained through the Oculus VR
website and a standard
view version of the game will be offered though the upcoming game
beta.

When asked CEO of Ghost Machine, Neal Nellans, was
enthusiastic about the new Oculus VR hardware expected to ship
this month. "We received our shipment of the new DK2
hardware from Oculus yesterday and the Motorsport team was hard at
work to get full native support with positional tracking into the
game. The experience is proof of the technological advances that
Oculus is making with virtual reality hardware and what players can
expect in gaming future", states Nellans.

The Oculus Rift is a virtual-reality headset designed for
immersive gaming also in its developmental stages. Its company,
Oculus VR, has raised $91
million towards the development of the headset ($2.4 million via
Kickstarter). In March,
Facebook bought Oculus for $2
billion and plans to make the platform a device applicable in
settings beyond the traditional gaming world. This week Oculus
began shipping updated DK2 development kits to VR developers around
the globe.

Located in the backlot of the Austin Studios production
facility, Ghost Machine VR currently has eight virtual-reality
games in production, including Final Burn, which challenges players
to pilot a F-16 in a dogfight against an alien invasion reminiscent
of Hollywood blockbusters.
